[Paperhand Puppet Intervention <donovan AT paperhand.org>]

Thanks so much to the folks who came out and supported Paperhand this past 
weekend! We raised enough to pay our rent for the year!! Amazing, we are so 
grateful.

This weekend Saxapahaw, our hometown, will be hosting a Holiday Market with 
lots of local arts, crafts, antiques, and much more. The Haw River Ballroom 
will be the epicenter of this on both Sat and Sun along with the Sxphw Artist 
Group. Paperhand's studio will be open to the public from 11-3 selling 
original t-shirts and DVD's of our past shows for just $5! This is a great 
deal and they make a great stocking stuffer!
